Richard Thomas Burnard c1897
Family tree

During the time that he was Head Master of the [Thebarton] school [1879-1881], Richard Burnard lived in the cottage, now the pottery room of the West Croydon Annexe. He was a man of exemplary character, and a fine, if strict, teacher, who devoted his whole life to his calling. His other appointments were at Unley, Moonta Mines, Gawler and Flinders Street. The first child of the marriage of Richard and Alice Burnard, Stanley, was born in the cottage. The other two sons were both notable: Dr. Renfrey Burnard, who had a practice on the corner of Hayward Avenue and Henley Beach Road, was one of the co-founders of the Western Clinic; Dr. Alex Burnard was prominent in the musical world, both as a teacher and composer. "Thebarton Primary School; 113 years of community service 1879-1992"  by Glen Ralph.

Mr. R. T. Burnard, Headmaster of the Flinders-street Model school, Adelaide, is about forty four years of age, and an old and valued public servant.
